Sold at the lower estimate price
In September 2021 Christies held the auction An Aesthetic Odyssey: The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection, which included the work Preparing For A Nightmare by Frederick Smallfield. The result of GBP 3,000.00 (€ 3,490.54) was exactly at the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 3,000.00 – 5,000.00. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Frederick Smallfield - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work An Arab smoking a shilbouck (recto); An old Lady seated in a garden (verso), which sold at auction in June 2012 for GBP 10,000.00 (€ 12,382.38).
Zuschlag beim unteren Schätzpreis
Im September 2021 führte Christies die Auktion An Aesthetic Odyssey: The Peter Rose and Albert Gallichan Collection durch, in der auch die Arbeit Preparing For A Nightmare von Frederick Smallfield zur Versteigerung kam. Das dabei erzielte Ergebnis von GBP 3.000,00 (€ 3.490,54) entsprach exakt dem unteren Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 3.000,00 – 5.000,00. Für andere Arbeiten von Frederick Smallfield mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit An Arab smoking a shilbouck (recto); An old Lady seated in a garden (verso) beobachtet, die im Juni 2012 für GBP 10.000,00 (€ 12.382,38) versteigert wurde.
